quick explanation why you should watch
So I will begin by saying that the comments here are very 'this would have been good if-' type of thing. I just finished this movie and won't beat around a bush. The ending was both predictable and you wouldn't see it coming at the same time. All in all it was not completely satisfying to make you lose all the built up suspense that is why many people blame ending for this. I wish it ended different but I am also amazed by how different ending it was compared to other movies. Usually they drop the suspense by ending and decide to ether make it happy or unhappy one, but this movie kept the suspense going until last seconds.I try not to put out any spoilers out here because I hope this will be the reason why you decide to watch this instead of listening to others and not give it a shot. This lowkey became one of my favorite asians movies AND I AM GLAD I WATCHED IT WITH LIGHTS ON. This is one of creepiest movies I seen, it was well executed and always kept the right atmosphere on.
Did you see movie Grave Encounters? It will have similar moments from there which I honestly love because it takes traits from The Stone Tape theory and more.

I think it's because of the faces you can see on the cover as well as well as the sounds and music.
It is great short movie which I hope was aired as full up to 2 hours like most movies, it has high potential for good horror movie with those creepy vibes. The idea of it is wonderful it actually shows reality just in more extreme outcome and measurements.
It's worth your 12mins believe me. It makes you wonder what would happen more what would be revealed more if it was longer ; u ; but sadly we need to be glad that we at least get to see a short version of it.

No, it isn't even bit boring.
No, the series do not disappoint.
Yes, it is as good as first two seasons, no less or more.
This is webseries, short series, right? Great series to watch when you want to relax, like I mentioned before it is like watching a big fluffy cloud haha it's adorable and easy to watch really. Honestly it's sweetest series I have ever seen even if it shows painful sides of relationships as well it's well directed and acting is 5stars for sure even if some actors debuted in here they don't disappoint. The series are worth your time it shows so much in those ten minutes I don't think that anyone could regret watching this on their free time.

All in all it is movie worth attention. It even has few twists, I enjoy this kind of movies so I expected it since I like to think deeply trough all details so people who like a little gore or heart warming moments or just some twists in general this movie is for you. It might sound weird how I mentioned heart warming moments I don't want to spoil but the movie is really nice that has all kind of moments. Friendships, love, rivalry, grudge you will see all kind of emotions here that are served well.
Sorry I am bat at reviewing without spoiling but just couldn't let this have no review because maybe some people need a push to watch this and are debating too long so if you're just considering I am here to tell it's worth your time.

STORY - 7
Honestly, the detail about the movie say it all and if you're interested in that kind of plots it's good movie to give it a shot.
Just know that the songs are old but it's kinda a charm of the movie. It shows the past as well which gives more interest than movie beginning honestly maybe because more action. In this movie you could also feel sleepy yet couldn't take your eyes off it, it has funny moments and quite interesting ones.
ACTING/CAST - 10
No complaints here, everyone doing great and all characters are somewhat different.
MUSIC - 10
Well it's great, don't expect to heard the modern songs and all it's 2001 movie so brace yourselves and they aren't bad, gives you like country music feels maybe at times too.
REWATCH VALUE - 1
Wouldn't watch again I watched it just because I was curious and it was interesting enough to finish it all but not play it again.

The plot is perfect. The title of the movie is fabricated city for a reason and like literally. All the connections of the rich people, how far it can lead to get away with a crime and make an innocent man guilty. Fabricated movie has a nice flow and has actual explanations of how things happen without leaving plot holes which is very important part which most of movies lack. Movie without plot holes is GOLD. Rare and when found appreciated and loved.
No surprise that Ji Chang Wook is great action actor, I have noticed few other actors that always give a pleasant feeling in dramas or movies of how natural they come out so actor choice was great in this movie. Music and soundtracks were on point I rarely complain about them in movies. Rewatch value is very high I might rewatch it with friends within the same week.

Yes The story is great. There are a lot of movies with psychopaths and hackers and so why complain now? The story is givenis great it makes you feel like you take part of the movies, action never stops so movie feels longer than it is because of how many things happen! And that is great PERFECT action movie and the comedy just cracks you up, it makes it a bit less intense and gives you some breath to relax before it gets serious again.
Acting/Cast: 10/10
The ace (the bad guy) could have been played by ji sung perfectly tbh but I am satisfied. Comedy parts were so real as well as family love and all the feelings, emotions were given trough. Like I couldn'tbe picky on acting at all, honestly Koreans are so well at acting I am surprised by their acting skills.
Music: 10/10
Not picky on music at all. I liked the background sounds, fit the situations well and kept you feel engaged with the movie.
Rewatch Value: 10/10
Will rewatch it with my best friend tbh worth every minute of it.
Overall: 10/10
Kept you on toes and great comedy, makes you laugh so hard at moments like really from beginning to very end cracked me up at random times I thought wouldn't be possible to change the atmosphare from intense to like one where you start wheezing. I was proved wrong and that is why I am so in love with this movie.

The stroy was really great. And I saw a lot of people were confused of flashbacks, but I caught up very quickly. They were clear to understand where was past and where was present. The story was quite deep I could say, the conversations between guys and the way they act indeed showed how high school students are not everyone but there is always that group you know. The shots taken were beautiful and even if the camera was moving it gave a feeling as if you take part of the story and are there observing.
Acting/Cast 10/10
Everyone did great. People say the highlight was the was the main guy Gi Tae (Je Hoon) but I liked all three of them, like all three guys showed great performance and could show the emotions trough their acting that could actually touch your heart.Music 10/10
There was barely any music but why 10/10? Because that was the perfect touch to this movie with soundtracks and songs it wouldn't feel as real as it felt while watching this. In real life you don't hear music in the background and like I said this movie makes you feel as if you are there observing and the music choice here was a great touch.
Rewatch Value 9.0/10
For some people this might not be so bad movie to rewatch even I would be willing to do that after a year or so, maybe even suggest to friends when you know you crave something touching and serious. But this story is like you watch it from curiosity, it just makes you feel like you take part of it and so you're curious where everything it will lead and once it finished well you already know everything so if rewatching maybe after few years.
Overall 10/10
The said genres:Friendship, Mystery, Psychological, School, Youth, Drama did not lie. There was great friendship with a hint of possible more actually and even to brother like relationship, Mystery sure was there as I mentioned here 'curiosity' that keeps you watching. Psychological yes because of all the flashbacks and how it shows the view points,reveals every character's thoughts and memories. School,youth and drama wasdefinitely there so this didn't disappoint at all.

So I will focus on second part of it.
Friends go to a new bar that is near and it has hint of comedy that I didn't find in first story. This one was more fun watching. Honestly, it would have been better if it were separate movies even if it took only 33minutes. So a guy falls in love at first sight and it leads to cruel ''reality'' like some comments said and well where most of bl movies do a sad ending as if gay men can't be happy which I find it cruel. But the story was easy to watch.
So ignoring first part I give this 8.5

Well I liked the story for a 8min that was great, the plot was explained well and didn't leave you confussed
Acting
It was 10 for me both guys and the bride did well
Music
well not sure what there can be for 8min movie
Rewatch Value
well it's eight minutes if you want to show it for a friend you can watch it again but unusure if it makes sense to watch it again on your own
Overall: 8.5
I enjoyed and it really depends on people tastes
the descriprion already tells that it is quite dramatic movie and no one can really judge it too much when it is made to be this short
I kinda wish it would be longer but that can't be changed

This review may contain spoilers
I am not fond on writing reviews and seeing most people doing detailed ones is very satisfying yet I thought I should try putting it in words with no spoilers.Story 10/10
Can you believe this? Story is epic. Honestly I thought the year 2017 will come with great kdramas, many came and many passed by, most of them were awesome but you still wouldn't really think about it too much once you watched. I will tell you, this one is not that type of drama. I thought Mad Dog was the best show of the year (and I have watched A LOT kdramas of this year) but then as waiting for new eps of some shows I rememered seeing this one mentioned in comments since actors here were famous and in other dramas I was watching as well. I can tell you it's rare to keep me on toes the WHOLE FULL EPISODES without giving it short skip trough and here I couldn't lift my hand to do it. I watched this in 24hours as I couldn't stop clicking next episode. Sorry no life but it is THAT WORTH IT. The plot is really mindblowing. Basic things villain, good guy and the true colors of the reality, how it actually is coming around rich and poor, in power and not.
Acting/Cast 10/10
Everyone did so well even children. The Bad guys are great at being jerks and all, and like no complaints. The dorks there are so cute I can't the friendships look so real and makes you feel so warm inside I can't put it in words even. And Ji Sung, he never disappoints NEVER. Kill Me/Heal Me seeing what kind of many different actors he can pull off even crazy type as he did in Secret, I didn't thought I will see him as father figure and here I did and he nailed it. I swear I am not biased, he is THAT good as an actor. And everyone did great.
Music 10/10
I like how it wasn't overfilled with the soundtracks and osts or so. Music made everything look cool and intense, it fit every second in there and wasn't late nor early to play just perfect timing.
Rewatch Value 10/10
Shame on me if I don't rewatch it. I have this bad habit of rewatching my top10 kdramas and guess what. It's on it. So far it is Number one I wonder what drama will be able to race it though.
Overall 10/10
It earned it!? <--even put heart
my review isn't the top one but it is worth it and just don't want to put spoilers as I watched it without reading anything just seeing the cover and that the main actor Ji Sung, knowing that he was on left me with no doubt that it will be at least watchable and it ended up as more than that. Directors and Writters did great job as well I am so blessed. I watched this three months after release so didn't have to wait for new episodes THANK GOD because I was vibrating in excitement by clicking next episode everytime. It felt like I was part of movie and couldn't miss any second.
